Marvel Comics’s first wave of super hero creations in the 1960s have proven to have remarkable staying power and worldwide appeal. The Avengers, X-Men, Doctor Strange, and Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos (which introduced Nick Fury) all celebrate their 50th anniversaries this year. When Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko created the characters half a century ago, little did they know what they brought into the comics world. Since then numerous writers and artists have told the tales of these heroes, including Comic-Con special guests Brian Michael Bendis (AVENGERS and UNCANNY X-MEN), Frank Brunner (DOCTOR STRANGE), John Romita, Jr. (just about every Marvel hero), and Roy Thomas, who was there almost at the beginning with Stan, Jack and Steve and contributed his own memorable takes on the Avengers and X-Men.
